Brazil’s crypto market is on fire. According to a new Chainalysis report, Brazilians transacted $318.8 billion in digital assets between July 2024 and June 2025. That’s more than 100% growth year over year. Crypto has truly gone mainstream in Latin America’s largest economy.
The numbers show that Brazil’s familiarity with digital finance is changing how people and institutions move money. Despite regulatory challenges, Brazil’s crypto adoption is booming—making it the largest crypto market in LatAm by far.
Brazil is Leading LatAm’s Crypto Charge
The Chainalysis report shows Brazil is the clear winner in the region. $318.8 billion in transactions is more than triple the volume of its nearest competitor. Even countries with traditionally high crypto activity like Venezuela and Colombia trailed behind with less than $40 billion each.
The report attributes most of this growth to stablecoin adoption, which is nearly 90% of total flows. Stablecoins—digital assets pegged to fiat currencies—offer a way to store value in countries with high inflation and currency volatility.

Key Takeaways from Chainalysis:
- Brazil is responsible for most of the crypto activity in LatAm.
- Stablecoins are 9 out of 10 transactions.
- Institutions are in control, but retail is growing fast.
This is not just speculative trading but widespread use in payments, savings and remittances as digital currencies are becoming part of Brazil’s financial infrastructure.
Centralized Exchanges Drive Most of the Action
Chainalysis estimates the entire LatAm region moved $1.5 trillion in crypto over the past year. 64% of that was through centralized exchanges. These platforms are the gateways between fiat and crypto markets and are the backbone of digital finance in the region.
While DeFi is growing, it still lags behind traditional exchanges. But as digital literacy and smartphone access grows, Brazil’s retail crypto adoption will deepen—making the financial system more inclusive.
As Brazil’s crypto market hits $318 billion, the message is clear: digital assets are no longer a fringe innovation—they’re a financial reality in LatAm.
